If you’ve been locked in on the butter-yellow trend, you know it has been steadily gaining steam and now reaching full‑on mania. Sitting between beige and lemon, this shade is mellow enough for the colour‑shy but bold enough to stand alone.

MAFS 2025 Episode 12 Recap: Jacqui asks Ryan to rank his... sister?

Feb 13, 2025 | chattr.com.au | Chantelle Schmidt

No one talks about their wife’s intimacy behind her back on our watch. And you know what? The Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 women should’ve spoken to Jacqui after they heard about the comment too. I think the whole MAFS 2025 cast deserves a good wake-up call at tonight’s dinner party! Let’s recap. As Ryan and Jacqui walk in, he tells her to have his back tonight, likely because he knows he will be in the firing line.

Feb 11, 2025 | chattr.com.au | Chantelle Schmidt

Married At First Sight (MAFS) Episode 4 provided everything we need from this show: hope, tears, roots and arguments. For this MAFS 2025 recap, we’ll focus on the horny (and hellish) honeymoons and the new couples. Eliot has finally bailed on MAFS 2025 and not a moment too soon. Katie and Tim are getting worse by the minute. Tim decided to tell Katie that his type is basically short and not… a redhead. As a result, she has now decided that his lack of “spark” is code for lack of “attraction”.

Feb 11, 2025 | chattr.com.au | Chantelle Schmidt

For Episode 11, it’s the grooms’ turn to meet with Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 expert Alessandra, and, as expected, it turned out horribly. While the other grooms maturely (OK, maybe not Billy at first) and politely discussed how they found the fantasy dates their wives planned, Ryan: Warrior Princess took the opportunity to make his wife, Jacqui, feel even worse than she’s already been feeling about herself.

Feb 10, 2025 | chattr.com.au | Chantelle Schmidt

Welcome to Intimacy Week, the best week of every Married At First Sight (MAFS) season. Each time it airs, I am reminded as to why my vanilla and body-conscious ass could never go on this show. Let’s get stuck into the MAFS 2025 recap, shall we? This episode, Alessandra tasks the brides with planning out their ultimate fantasy nights for their grooms. This basically means a bunch of the ladies wearing lingerie on national television, which, would you believe it, is my ultimate nightmare.
Who has left MAFS 2025 so far?

Feb 9, 2025 | chattr.com.au | Chantelle Schmidt

Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 very quickly rips the hope away from its viewers every year, with plenty of couples exiting the experiment as quickly as they entered it. By the time we get to final vows, it can honestly be hard to remember who left MAFS and when — especially if they didn’t make a lasting impression like, say, Collins Christian of MAFS 2024. MAFS Season 12 is well and truly underway for 2025, and couples are dropping like flies.

Some serious guts were being whipped out in front of the MAFS experts tonight, hey? Let’s get right into the MAFS recap for Season 12, Episode 9: our very first Commitment Ceremony. Lauren and Eliot: Nada. Gone. Non-existent. Farewell! (But we’ll see them again soon.)Tim and Katie: Tim showed up at the last minute (nice one, production) to say that Katie was too busy checking her emails to get to know him.
What It’s Like Flying Business Class For The First Time — The Latch

Dec 9, 2024 | thelatch.com.au | Chantelle Schmidt

When Vietnam Airlines invited me on their Sydney to Hanoi A350 route — business class, no less — I was beyond excited to pop two cherries: I’d never been to Vietnam and never flown Business Class. Other than peeking my head into Business Class as I boarded planes and being told, ‘Once you go Business Class, you won’t go back to Economy’, I had absolutely no expectations when seeing how the other side live travel.
